Patrick Creevy

Patrick Creevy was born on
December 11, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Robert (in pharmaceutical
manufacturing) and Mary Frances Creevy. He married Susan O'Connor,
an architect, on August 15, 1970.

He describes his own artistic vision
as poetical, by which he means perceptive of spiritual
significance in whatever comes before him. He says that what
he loves in poetry is the tension between our self-preservational
instinct and our instinctive need to take ourselves apart.

His works of fiction include Lake
Shore Drive (1992) and most recently, Tyrus: An American
Legend (2002), a fictional account about the real-life baseball
legend Ty Cobb.
